Problem
What can be more elegant ways to solve the given problem.
Code:
#
##
###
####Code:
function StairCase(n) {
for (var i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
var col = i;
for(var j = 1; j <= n - col; j++) {
process.stdout.write(' ');
}
for(var j = 1; j <= col; j++) {
process.stdout.write('#');
}
process.stdout.write('\n');
}
}Solution
JavaScript function names should start with a lowercase character, and "staircase" is one compound word in English.
Since every line is nearly the same, and only one character changes at a time, you should take advantage of that and use an array as a buffer.

function staircase(n) {
var line = Array(n + 1).fill(' ');
line[n] = '\n';
for (var i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
line[i] = '#';
process.stdout.write(line.join(''));
}
